Mr. Williams. Will you describe
your relationship with the deceased?
:52:20
I met Billy Hanson when he came around
to the house wanting a job.
:52:25
So...
:52:26
...I hired him in the workshop
to refinish furniture.
:52:29
He had some talent,
and I wanted to encourage him.
:52:32
During this time...
:52:33
...I developed hypoglycemia. I
blacked-out at times. I don't eat well.
:52:37
The doctor told me...
:52:39
...it was not good for me to be alone
when this condition occurs.
:52:43
So Billy would stay over...
:52:45
...and take care of me
when I wasn't well.
:52:47
He did not live at Mercer House,
as has been stated.
:52:53
Is that the full extent of your
relationship with Billy Hanson?
:53:00
No. Over time, it evolved
into something less formal.
:53:05
We became intimate.
:53:07
Billy could be very charming.
:53:09
He had his girlfriends and I had mine.
:53:12
But to me...
:53:13
...sex is a perfectly natural thing.
:53:16
It didn't bother me.
It didn't bother him.
:53:18
It was just an occasional natural
occurrence between consenting adults.
:53:28
Would you describe to the jury...
:53:31
...the events
that occurred in your house...
:53:34
...after the party?
:53:37
By the time Billy got back to the house
he was quite high...
:53:40
...and we got into an argument
about a planned trip to London.
:53:43
I was going to an auction, and Billy was
to accompany me because of my condition.
:53:49
But he insisted on taking
marijuana cigarettes.
:53:51
I do not approve of drugs
and I told him he could not go.
:53:55
He became verbally abusive
and I ordered Billy out of the house.
:53:58
He went into the hallway.
